By destroying its value proposition for early Bitcoin investors like me? That are exactly the unintended consequences I am talking about.

I'm an early investor in Bitcoin too. Drivechain is a softfork, if you don't like it, you don't need to use it. Bitcoin continues to work the same way always worked for you.

I know. I recognised your user name.

Soft forks have unintended consequences all the time. It's not just about me deciding to use the feature or not.

See, I don't have anything against experimenting with drivechains. Just not on Bitcoin. And definitely not now.

Ok, we have a different vision about it. I think do nothing can have bad consequences too.

The "unintended" consequences I see are more network effect, more experimentation, more use cases, more users.

Me, too. And: because privacy became such an important topic in today's society I am now a Monero and Bitcoin guy.

To grow network effect we can't have others coins competing with Bitcoin. Doesn't make sense.

I'd argue: Competition is the only path to ensure value.

Do you want competition in the currency you hold? I prefer to absorve the improvements in one single currency.

How to convince people to use and hold bitcoin if there are many projects competing with it? and with bitcoin stagnant.

Bitcoin will never provide us with opt-out privacy. So for that reason alone not all possible improvements ever will take place in one single currency (ironically reducing its value).

That's why competition is valuable.

I would say: that's why drivechain is important. Haha
